Welcome!
[edit]Hello, Ksq4, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.
I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Welcome
[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia! We have compiled some guidance for new healthcare editors:
- Please keep the mission of Wikipedia in mind. We provide the public with accepted knowledge, working in a community.
- We do that by finding high quality secondary sources and summarizing what they say, giving WP:WEIGHT as they do. Please do not try to build content by synthesizing content based on primary sources. (For the difference between primary and secondary sources, see WP:MEDDEF.)
- Please use high-quality, recent, secondary sources for medical content (see WP:MEDRS). High-quality sources include review articles (which are not the same as peer-reviewed), position statements from nationally and internationally recognized bodies (like CDC, WHO, FDA), and major medical textbooks. Lower-quality sources are typically removed. Please beware of predatory publishers – check the publishers of articles (especially open source articles) at Beall's list.
- The ordering of sections typically follows the instructions at WP:MEDMOS. The section above the table of contents is called the WP:LEAD. It summarizes the body. Do not add anything to the lead that is not in the body. Style is covered in MEDMOS as well; we avoid the word "patient" for example.
- More generally see WP:MEDHOW
- Reference tags generally go after punctuation, not before; there is no preceding space.
- We use very few capital letters and very little bolding. Only the first word of a heading is usually capitalized.
- Common terms are not usually wikilinked; nor are years, dates, or names of countries and major cities.
- Do not use URLs from your university library's internal net: the rest of the world cannot see them.
- Please include page numbers when referencing a book or long journal article.
- Please format citations consistently within an article and be sure to cite the PMID for journal articles and ISBN for books; see WP:MEDHOW for how to format citations.
- Never copy and paste from sources; we run detection software on new edits.
- Talk to us! Wikipedia works by collaboration at articles and user talkpages.
Once again, welcome, and thank you for joining us! Please share these guidelines with other new editors.

NS 1150 Article Choice
[edit]Hi Ksq4,
You chose three very interesting articles to potentially edit. Of the three, the least contentious article to edit would be the article on "Breast milk". I am going to go ahead and assign this one to you and then you and I will work together a little more closely on the resources you find for this article. As we may not find as much new information your edits we may not find as much to edit in the livespace but this will not affect your Wikipedia component of the assignment! Please let me know if you have any questions. Saguaromelee (talk) 14:44, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
Feedback on annotated bibliography
[edit]I enjoyed reading your annotated bibliography and can see how you engaged with the articles to synthesize potential information for your edits. I am curious to how this might develop into several paragraphs, if we need to modify this specific edit down to one strong paragraph please feel free to reach out to me to discuss this. Remember the tone of wikipedia is not like academic writing: Wikipedia:Writing_better_articles I think you have a very strong grasp of what is needed to edit though!
